MINERS LAMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 756,151, dated. March 29, 1904:;

Application filed January 2, 1904.

To all whmn it may concern:

Monongahela, in the county of Washington and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certa-in new and useful Improvements in Miners Lamps, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accom panying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in miners lamps, and has for its object the provision of novel means whereby a lamp is produced that will have advantages in points of strength, durability, and efliciency.

The present invention consists in a lamp having a body portion formed of a single piece of metal without seams, the reinforcing of the spout, a novel form of bottom, and a spreader arranged at the end of the spout, all of which construction will be hereinafter more particularly described, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this application, and wherein like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views, in which Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of my improved miners lamp. Fig. 2 is a front view thereof. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the body portion formed of a single piece of metal. Fig. 4: is a perspective view of the reinforcing-guard.

In the drawings the reference-numeral 1 represents the seamless body portion, formed of a single piece of metal, carrying an upwardly-extending rim 2 and having formed at .its lower portion an outwardly-bulged flange 3, which is crimped, as shown at 4, to retain the bottom 5. This bodyportion also has formed therein an opening 6 for the reception of the spout 7, to which is secured the reinforcing-guard 8, extending downwardly to the bodyportion 1 of the lamp. At the upper extension of the spout is secured a cup- Serial No. 187,419. (No model.)

- shaped spreader 9, which serves to spread the flame and also retain any drippings of oil from the wick, thereby preventing the oil igniting when flowing down the side of the spout. This spreader also securely retains the spout and prevents the opening of the scam in the spout. The hinged cover is designated by refence-numeral 10 and is secured to the upper flange 2 of the seamless body portion. A suitable hook 11 is arranged upon the side of the body portion in order to fasten the lamp to the cap of the miner in the usual and wellknown manner.

The spreader is of ring-like form and receives the spout and is secured thereto at its central opening. The guard 8 merely extends to a point approximately central of the spout length and but partially surrounds the same.

It will be noted that various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of my inven- 7 tion.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A miners lamp consisting of a body the base of which is formed with .an outwardlybulged flange, the inner termination of which lies in a plane transverse to the flange, and a bottom supported against downward movement by said flange and against upward movement by frictional contact of its periphery with the interior of the flange.

2. A miners lamp consisting of a body having a spout, a guard secured to the spout and body and extending partly the length of the former and partially surrounding the same, and a spreader of ring-like cup-shape form received over and secured to the spout.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
